Oblivion

By itself darkwater resides a nocturnal needle a forgetful beyond silence that slumbering inconsequential cuts a corner a stammer jester in its unpronounceable tongue And by fog or bright sunlight or if you prefer in curdled agonized night oblivion she comes to weep at your side lay that kiss beneficent upon your brow and whisper her breath of oblivion Sweet lips lay her peace upon your forehead reside Oblivion Her dangerous alcohol heroine addiction escape tunnel perfidious your attention so fixed her intentions so mixed lays the desperate palette of sacrificial dreams Dark by night and dark by incidental dark by the injection of her frivolous needle in portents she echoes so demure and unrepentant
